Stepping into Denver’s
Barolo Grill is like entering the Tuscan
farmhouse you always dream about. The
one that is warmly and perfectly decorated,
with flowers everywhere and your own olive
trees out back. The one where pipes never
break, workmen never leave a job half
finished, and you get to spend meal after
leisurely meal basking in the Tuscan glow
of it all. The one that only exists in
the form of American restaurants.
Barolo Grill is rustically
romantic and serves dreamy food to match.
The wine list will knock your socks off,
especially if you’re a fan of Barolo
wines (hence the name). Service is friendly-casual,
in a good way.
We sampled outstanding risotto
two ways – traditionally and perfectly
prepared with mushrooms, and in the form
of croquettes, another traditional Italian
dish that is rarely seen in the U.S. Pastas
were outstanding as well, highlighted
by a spinach ravioli stuffed with savory
mushrooms and pancetta. Among the house
specialties, don’t miss the crispy
roasted duck served with garlic-laced
hash browns.
Desserts stick to the authentic
Northern Italian cuisine and offer the
perfect light and fruity ending to a truly
wonderful meal. (june 2002)
